Ashton Kutcher on playing Steve Jobs: 'The scepticism was valuable'

Ashton Kutcher has said that he found scepticism of his casting as Steve Jobs to be "really valuable".

The Two and a Half Men star will play the Apple pioneer in Joshua Michael Stern's upcoming biopic Jobs.

Kutcher reflected on his casting in the highly-anticipated film with E! News, and suggested that he was unfairly targeted for criticism early on.

"I think the early scepticism was actually really, really valuable," he explained.

The actor continued: "I went to get coffee [once] and I had a black T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans on and somebody was like, 'Oh look, he's not even wearing the right Steve Jobs shoes and that's not the right shirt and that's not even a turtleneck'.
